How to seduce your new bae with the best thirst trap

The sun goes down and something else rises up; it’s thirst trap time.

There is no shame in my game admitting that I am one to send a thirst trap. If the mood is right, I am more than willing to send a scandalous picture to anyone asking. 

Starting out, I never knew how to take a good thirst trap. I would try to copy what I saw other gay men doing on Twitter, but it never seemed right to me. I hated how I looked and it wasn’t flattering at all.

Of course, finding your right angle is a life-long journey and you may change it up. For me, I still can’t find a good angle of myself and I change it daily. Make sure you know what way to position your camera best, it will help you later while snapping pictures. 

It is important to note that everyone has a different level of what they are comfortable sharing with others, our bodies are sacred and we all have different ways we want to share them. Do not let anyone pressure you into sending something you do not want to send. 

First, you must have a nice, clean background. You do not want anything in the back being a distraction and have the receiver’s eyes focused elsewhere in the photo. 

Just a note for people who have a penis: Please stop just getting it hard on the toilet and sending a pic from that angle. No one wants to see your dirty toilet and the underwear at your ankles.

Also, do not fear the shower. It is an underrated spot when taking a thirst trap. After you get over the fear of your phone getting wet, you truly can do a lot. The water makes your body look extra sexy in pictures. 

On the topic of backgrounds, the right lighting is essential. You do not want the lights to be too dim or too bright, you have to find the perfect balance. Using the flash on your phone is a no, it oversaturates you and draws too much attention. 

My best tip is just to get a lamp with warm light and just let it shine on you. This will make your body glow and will help draw the focus. This truly changes the game, once I learned this my thirst traps elevated to a whole new level.

Sending thirst traps is not all about sending your naked body. Having good underwear/lingerie can make for an amazing picture. I believe everyone should have a couple of sexy pairs of underwear to show off, for the bedroom and these traps. For me, as a gay man, jockstraps are my go-to when I want to look and feel my best.

As angles are important, so are the poses you do. Whatever feels comfortable and right at the moment probably will look the best on camera. Do not try to stick your non-existent ass out, it still will look as flat as ever (trust me I know). 

Changing up the poses are also important, you do not want to have the same pose in every picture or you may get blocked for being too boring.

Do not reveal all right away, teasing the receiver is what makes it fun. Trying all these different poses will help build the excitement for the grand reveal. Keep teasing until you feel like it is the right moment. Teasing with videos is very fun and captivating, do not be afraid of branching out with a video. 

The most important thing, on top of being comfortable, is to have fun. Once I learned not to take this seriously, I started receiving better results. I like to think of it as taking these pictures for myself, and other people just are getting the pleasure of viewing them too. 

There is no right or wrong way to take a thirst trap, as long as you feel sexy about what you send that is all that matters.
